Capstone Two: Three Cards
The idea
The second capstone task, constructed for this course, asks you to write three cards for the most important thing on your map.
In practice
Choose your anchor thing: the one that appears in almost every conversation. Slice it through the change types: create, read, update, archive or delete, generate and log, and list one behavior for each. Choose three behaviors to write in full, including at least one that is not create, preferably an update with state rules or a generate. For each, write the header and an action title, a plain-language business statement, the material focus with one primary thing, the change type, the properties grouped by purpose, and the constraints and rules, including who may do it. Add outcomes and one example with real-looking values. Then run all six checks from the book on each card, and fix what fails. If you draft any card with an AI tool, compare its draft with yours and record every field it invented and every audit field it missed. Finally, show one card to a person who does the work, and write down what they corrected.
Where people slip
A card nobody outside the writer has read has passed only five of the six checks. The stakeholder check is the one that turns a well-formed card into a true one, and it is the one most often skipped under time pressure. In the library's case, the stakeholder check added the phone channel to Renew Loan, and the argument over which policy version sets a new due date produced a rule written down for the first time. Expect your three cards to surface at least one rule like that.
